HELP I have B AD SIDE EFFECTS!!! | Arthritis Information

Hi everyone,

A couple of weeks ago I began the Methotrexate via injection and have had UNbelievable results.  Problem is, I now find myself with a dry cough (thought I was overusing my voice/getting sick) and this am woke up with candida (yeast) in my mouth.  Ugh. Anyone deal with this yet?
 
 I read the side effects/warnings on the mtx. website, and it said that the dry cough is a SERIOUS side effect.  Got a call in to the RD right away.  Please, if any of you had this, did it become a problem, get better, what?

Oh sweetie -
 
Let us know what happens!
 
And you have undelying yeast making your RA worse - the plus side is you now have things to work on (after the crisis) to help you heal.
 
Hugs,

Someone on the board did have the problem but I can't remember who.  They had to come off the mtx (obviously) but aside of that, I don't really know.  She wasn't on the board back when it happend, it's only something she has referred to a couple of times.  Don't know a whole lot of detail about it.  But she's ok now and I'm sure you will be too.  Please get back with us after you see the dr.You did the right thing calling the RD office.  They'll tell you what to do and you'll be fine.  I know how scary this must be, especially after reading those warning labels, but others have been where you are now and it all worked out in the end.  Keep us posted please.
